Hi all.
As my monitor is calibrated well with DisplayCal, I was wonder if my smartphone could also be calibrated?
My LG phone is rooted with custom a rom and the qualcom chipsets allows for real adjustments. There is a section which allows for some basic adjustments as follows:Colour temperature in Kelvin
Red, Green, Blue each adjustable 0-100%
Hue, Saturation, Contrast, Intensity (which I don’t understand it’s effect fully).
Is their a way I could manually use DisplayCal to read those parameters and perhaps I could manually open up some test colours and grey to adjust accordingly?
Of course being it manual, I don’t want too large a test pallete, it could take a while. Even a few would probably give a better visual look than the one at the moment.
As a photographer, It would be nice to show my clients a truer or closer representation.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,

Possibly, although most mobile applications can not use ICC profiles. You’d likely have to prepare your images locally (on a computer) and transfer converted versions of them to your phone.
Is their a way I could manually use DisplayCal to read those parameters and perhaps I could manually open up some test colours and grey to adjust accordingly?
Yes. Use the “Web @ localhost” interface and a browser on your phone.
If you have manual controls for the display, I recommend checking out HCFR for calibration.
You may need to use your own pattern source though like images or a video that you load on the phone and call up when you tell HCFR you are reading a certain patch, like 10% greyscale steps and primary/secondary colors at various saturations.
